Episode 116 - MBSing with John Thibodeaux​ - Gasoline

When TBox told me he planned to discuss gasoline, I was all, "whaaaaat?" Then he outlined his work history with various responsibilities at refineries and rigs, and I was all, "coooooool!" A couple science nerds get to break down the chain that creates gasoline and other products from crude oil and the work that goes into getting that "devil jizz" out of the ground. TBox and I exist in the middle of a lot of very specific Venn diagrams, and this ep was a delight to relish in the details. Stick around for some excellent baseball talk at the end that's a preview of our hypothetical future baseball podcast. (If I find a guest who enjoys baseball, you cannot escape it being discussed, listener. And for this I will not apologize.) Thanks to Base Camp for sponsoring this episode and the Chicago Podcast Cooperative for coordinating sponsors. This is the published article on my college research project. At least you can look at the pictures? More about the gasoline/sodium cyanide explosion in Tianjin, China.
